Re: 2012 Summer Olympic Basketball Thread

So true. i think the refs were like, who cares this game is over and so is France's Olympics. had it happened earlier they might have. Amazing how Navarro takes a real shot and stays in where Rudy flops and has to go out.

His last 4 years in Utah, he wasn't scoring or rebounding all that well. Averages of like 11, 4 and 3.

His last 5 years in Utah: 11 pts, 4.7 boards and 3 assists.

It'll be interesting if a year in Russia has helped him regain his confidence in his NBA game.

I think he is healthy now plus he is out of Utah, he just hated to be there, either way Minny is going to get a player that can guard 4 positions at any time and can do multiple things in offense, great deal for them if you ask me.

Re: 2012 Summer Olympic Basketball Thread

vnzla was right, Olympics volleyball is indeed addictive.
it sucks that all the quarter finals matches are at the same time as basketball matches.
one thing i notice though - women version might actually be more fun for me personally, less breaks, more action, i suppose because the ball isn't moving quite as fast and powerfully.

If you can get kicked out of the Olympics for tanking on purpose, then Nic Batum should be banned for the next Olympics. I can't believe he actually balled up his fist, hits the guy, and then keeps his hand in the fist. A technical/ejection isn't severe enough punishment for that something that blatant.

I have no problem with it. Let the Europeans beat the **** out of each other. They have been doing it for centuries.
